    "Melting pot" and "assimilation" are still foreign concepts to too many immigrants
    Not to mention a national language kinda like the ones (keeping this simple) used in Germany, France, Italy and, oh, yeah, Spain.

    When was the last time somebody said China is too Chinese?
    How can it be that a Columbian immigrant - I love Columbia by the way - is looked to as a spokesperson for how New Hampshire "should" be?
    Can you imagine an American going down to Columbia and stating that too many Latinos are here, this place really needs to change. The Government needs to import a million Pakistanis and a million Chinese and a million Nigerians. Or some other absurdity.
    What the hell is wrong with being white?

      I like Hew Hampshire, too. It's a beautiful state which includes a restored Shaker village at Canterbury. I would recommend a visit. BTW, a few years ago one of their state legislature people wanted to ban Conservatives from moving to the state. Guess that Conservatives would be too white and have a tenancy to speak English..

        I would suggest that Any awakened Conscious human, no matter the color of skin, would tend to be constitutionally conservative...I meet many at work, (visitors to Hospice) and many are black Americans, old and middle age folks of all kinds, not to mention, legal immigrants from socialist/communist countries.
        It's an amazing real life view of who the majority really are.
        And That's in the Commie/psychopathic state of Conn-ecticut!!!

        We should ALL move to New Hampshire and make it our Gulch.

    Liberal hysteria.

    During Obama the message was to make communities that were "too white" import minorities so to increase the crime rate.

    Last time I looked the USA was a nation of mostly white people although that will change soon given the reproduction rate of minorities.

    BTW, when was the last time these liberals concluded that Africa was too black?

      This is not an attack on the post but as I read the argument the thought came to mind.

      Why does so many attack the concept of liberal when they are not the real problem?

      Let me start by saying that I am a classical liberal as liberal connotates progression, not progressive. The liberal mind is what advances mankind whereas the conservation wants to preserve status quo. If this country were to promote a completely conservative thought then we would still be using horse and buggy as the main means of transport.

      Now from a political standpoint I can understand a conservative approach as a mechanism of government control but then reality has shown that really does not work.

      Is it only I that somehow sees that whether the red team or blue team is in power that the progression of enslavement of the people never really changes.

      So it's not really a liberal hysteria as much as a new age progressive criteria that is at play.

      Not that I really blame your argument as I have caught myself many times using that false dichotomy of liberal when I actually mean progressive. It just seems the logical thing to do until one stops and examines their premises.

      Odumbo was a modern enigma of contrast. He really wasn't elected as much as selected. I mean seriously, John McCain was a demented soul that followed him around like a little lap dog.
      The owners had no doubt at all at who would end up where. But what a perfect little puppet. Odumbo wasn't a liberal at all as demonstrated by his continual efforts to stop progress. He could be said to be the poster child for Galt's pledge to stop the world in opposition to the communist slogan, "to each by his ability to each by his needs."

      I totally agree with your assessment of the change in the majority status of white reproduction which bought into the myth of population growth while all other races have been going at it like rabbits. The only difference being rabbits are at the bottom of the food chain.

      And if one where to pay attention to South Africa, Africa is definitely not too black.

        "The liberal mind is what advances mankind whereas the conservation wants to preserve status quo. If this country were to promote a completely conservative thought then we would still be using horse and buggy as the main means of transport."

        That is patently untrue but you are free to believe whatever you want. There were many great individuals who contributed to the advancement if the country and her people on the conservative side but I can't say the same for the liberal left.

        Now I agree with your that "liberal" is not always associated with the left: there are many liberals on the right.

        As for South Africa, I was not talking about SA: I was referring to the continent which is predominantly black. SA was an artificial state set up by whites only to be gradually reverting it back to a black state, a process which is ongoing.

        By this example America should revert the PC drive for "inclusiveness" since the country has predominantly been white from its inception.

          Thank you for permitting me believe but I leave beliefs to those predisposed to belief systems.

          Your argument states that my statement was patently untrue but it offers nothing but an opinion and not a very strong one at that. But we will get to that in a moment. First let's address the false dichotomy of your statement. The argument seems to be based on the refusal to separate the private from the political. Your argument is focused on the political which is a false argument in itself. The only real difference form a political standpoint is one wants to steal more money while the other want to steal more rights but in reality they are one and the same. There is no liberal side of political as government in and of itself is a hindrance, not a supporter of advancement.

          Now from the private side, which you argument has confused with the political. Conservatives on the private side are normally the finance side of an operation. They are most always in opposition to advancement because of the drain on cash for research. They have been the death of many a company when control is by a finance executive.

          And again the false dichotomy with right and left. Where are the moderates that believe both any swing to any side is excess? How do you account that the far right and the far left lead to the same result, collectivism.

          Again your argument is blatantly false, the left is not right nor is the right left. That would be to accept the false epistemology that A can be B at the same time in the same instance. It does not follow but destroys logic. It is a sign of the phenomena of moral relativism, the presence of truth and morality in the lives of the people of any given society is inversely proportional to the presence of tyranny and slavery in that society. True freedom can never exist in a society that embraces "Moral Relativism" (the idea that there is no inherent and objective difference between right and wrong, so humanity may arbitrarily "create" or "decide" right and wrong for themselves).

          The false premises of your argument continue. Your claim is that we eliminate South Africa because even though it is in Africa if would skew your results. Ok, then how do you account for the Arab population of Morocco, Algeria, Libya and Egypt that total some 150 million of 15 percent of the population?

          And the last part your argument isn't even worth addressing.

            First, know that the term "liberal" has been hijacked by idiots...today it no longer means the "Liberal-Libertarian, freedom loving, "liberals" of our founding...it means today: anything goes, be what ever you will no matter how much it hurts, no matter whom it hurts and no matter how perverted it is and usually is 180 degrees opposed to common sense.

            Conservatism in it's natural environment saves that which has proven valuable and moves on from there, (that's how the advancement of consciousness is supposed to work.).

            Conservatism and liberalism are not much more than a political label these days.

              That is why I preface liberal with classical. Drives these modern age progressives crazy. Back a couple of decades or four, there were liberal Republicans and liberal Democrats. Today all that remains are Repugnantcons and Dumbocraps.

              I agree, as in the book 1984, they are attempting to destroy the language so as to limit any conversation that has meaning.

                Orwellian "Newspeak", Bingo! Alfred wins a cupie doll. In these contemporary times, especially here in the Gulch, the term "liberal" usually is equivalent to big government collectivist/socialist/communist type person and "conservative" is a small government individual/Constitutionalist/capitalist type person. Since we've been in the crossover between the classical language definitions and newspeak for several decades now, you need to be aware of the context various terms are used in to really understand which language is being used. IMHO, one of the biggest Orwellian switcheroos was what the colors red and blue stood for. Throughout the cold war red was communist and blue was capitalist, but now they are switched. Hoping for a red wave this next election seems somehow backwards to an old guy like me, but I'm hip to the newspeak lingo so let the red win. MAGA!

    This isn't true. Home Depot is in NH.
